Sarah Lee Peacock

Psalm 23:4 states that, "Even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Wherever we go, from our birth throughout our life and into the passage of death, the Lord is always and ever with us. When the time comes to bid this life farewell, we should find comfort in knowing that a loving God will be there with us to guide us to our new home.  

Today, we realize that God Almighty knows best, even when the decision that he makes, doesn’t always seem to be the best for us.  No matter how sad, we may feel, or how much we will miss her; there’s no better place for her spirit to be, than in God’s loving arms. None of us know the day, hour, minute or the second; but what we do know is how we feel and what our beloved one meant to us.
